|summary=The War of the Standing Stone Orcs was a defensive series of battles fought by the [[Netheril|Netherese]] against the orcs of the [[Rampart Peaks]]. Having gathered under the warlord [[Ruzmal Bloodaxe|Ruzmal]] this warband fell over the [[Netheril|Netherese]] lands, raiding and pillaging all in their wake. In response the Archmage [[Ioulaum]] gathered and organised the [[Netheril|Netherese]] forces to ready an effective defense. The [[Netheril|Netherese]] ultimately carried the day, and after breaking the orcish resistance rounded up the would-be invaders and utilised them as fodder for their magical experiments. This battle, and the wounds sustained from it, initiated the [[Netheril|Netherese]] purge of the nearby orc-tribes, with out-right eradication or enslavement as live-subjects for use in their experiments.
